Hi all. I'm Bob from SC. In 1980 I was looking for a 67-8 Firebird when I came across a 68 RS/SS Camaro convertible. Next month I'll have owned the car 29 years. I've always been a fan of 1st, 2nd, and 4th gen Firebirds. Oddly I like the 3rd gen Camaro over the Birds of that era (I think it's the double headlamp thing like 1st and 2nd gen Birds)

Anyway I was looking for a silver 2002 Trans Am convertible when I came across the Black Bird at a used car lot here in Columbia. It was somewhat neglected and the dealer could not prove what the car was. It took me 6 weeks of verifying and haggling to get the car. Being a stickler for stock, I've brought the car back to original condition. It is 1 of 2 triple black convertibles produced by GMMG. The other Triple black car has been modded up - so mine is the only surviving original example. The only thing different from when it rolled off the showroom floor is that it is now signed by Scott Settlemire- VP GM incharge of F-bodies and authorizor of the Black Bird program as well as by Matt Murphy, owner of GMMG who did the upgrades. I also have some carbon fiber fuel rail covers and a shock tower brace- but I remove them for shows.

I love to cruise in this car!

Welcome to The Source Bob! A blackbird you say? You need to post pics real soon These cars are the ultimate Bird. We may even forgive you for posting in all CAPS Ha Ha. Dave.

Hey Bob!

Thanks Dave, I tried to post some pictures here and ad one to my sig with no luck. I did manage to get 3 pictures posted on this site-somewhere???? The best thing to do is click the link in my sig. It takes you to where I have figured out how to post pictures. And btw, it's not all caps it's a size 3 font, so us old guys can read it without squinting

Hey Pyro- nice to see you here. Are you coming to the SCFBA get together on 10/17?

Thank's for the pics Bob! Awesome awesome car. And from a used car lot yet?! What a RARE find. Also I found the specs and info interesting As for the car shows, I do a lot of them myself and I have never seen one. I wouldn't worry about what they had to say, the car speaks for itself! Dave

Welcome to the Source! Nice find!

Matt
